New Song: Escort, ‘Barbarians’

Disco is BACK, in case anyone was wondering, and it comes in the form of Brooklyn’s 17-piece mirror ballers, Escort. Don’t look at us like that! Disco is COOL again, and here’s why: First, there’s Daft Punk‘s Nile Rodgers-assisted “Get Lucky,” which OK, that’s an obvious one, but disco-funk’s been popping up in all sorts of other places — just look to Janelle Monáe and Erykah Badu‘s funky feminist banger, “Q.U.E.E.N.” So, clearly disco never died; it just took a disco nap (HAD TO SAY IT), and Escort’s helping to wax the mirror ball with “Barbarians,” the band’s first cut since 2012’s Escort Remixed and their 2011 eponymous LP.
